So right after IG gets their invite, there's team drama

basically Chuan generally complains whenever they lose, and after their game last night he posted something to the effect of

无奈,无助 [image loading]

which roughly translates to "can't do anything, no help"

there are rumors that either he's going to leave the team for Zenith or IG is going to fire him and get somebody who can actually play as a team. Basically the current IG has Zhou, who's used to playing standard first position, and 3 of the best 2nd positions (430,YYF,Chuan) in the world, and Faith.

but this shit doesn't work when u've got 3 people all trying to play second position

1. Zhou's carry is left vulnerable for much of the game
2. Shit farm distribution means that everybody fails if the laning phase doesn't go well
3. Faith becomes useless fodder due to having to support alone
4. Teamfights turns into people running the fuck away and KSing instead of winning

Basically a dream team of some of the best talent in DotA playing like a bunch of pubs because 0 teamplay
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

They were invited because
1) stable roster (the only other stable team over the past year was DK)
2) lots of large names
3) they did when SMM (one of the biggest DotA tournies last year)
4) the owner has a lot of financial strength and pull in the scene
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

It stacks independently, it just adds bfury cleave on top of tidebringer in its smaller aoe. Check out cleave stacking.

This. You splash 100% damage in the tidebringer 500 aoe, and 135% in the bfury 225 aoe on a tidebringer attack.

That explains why they used to run 4-core.

There is no 'best' invoker.
It's very situation dependant, sometimes i'd prefer exort quas over quas wex and so on.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

E/Q invoker is being played more than Q/W by the top teams at the moment (Dendi, Pajkatt among others). They can really make use of sunstrike early with good team coordination. It doesn't mean it's 'better' though. For example, Q/W is a lot harder to kill than an E/Q invoker and you just have to time tornado/EMP, it's not as if the dmg/mana burn was nerfed.

So is this ForLove a real competitor, or was iG just messing up the first game?

How do the Chinese teams rate leshrac or tide? Are TC and siren high priority picks? Why? It's kinda hard to find anything relating to the cn scene, but I'm really interested to see what kind of stuff they are bringing to the international.
So zen.

iG messed up the first game badly, ForLove is a 3rd tier chinese team but iG has to focus on 2 games while ForLove just 1. Naga is not a conventional pick but she works sometimes for teams that like to force teamfights on teams with mediocre teamfight. TC is a pretty well known pick now but uncommon against a lot of lineups. Leshrac is pretty decently rated in Dota1 (Dota2 he is a stronger pick), similar to Tide.

iG has a very good possibility of losing the 3rd game, but TV broadcast schedule killed the stream lol

ForLove and NA are 2 top up and coming teams, ForLove is definitely reasonably good but are overshadowed by NA, who's beat almost all the major teams cept DK at this point. Though tbh its really just iG playing really poorly, interteam drama + playing DotA2 at the same time + shit lineups

TC is a high pick, siren is something that people have tried from time to time, but its never been standard
lesh is rarely played, Tide is usually neglected in favor of stuff like TC
